bartelby Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 bit of wet and dry to make the LED "frosted" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I sharpied the top of one pedal and it dispered the light out really well to the side, so this would be my way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luulox Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Nail varnish works to Dim them. I used red on a really bright blue led And it made it a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FretNoMore Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) There's a product called LightDims, glorified semi-transparent stickers really, looks a bit better than sticky tape. They work OK provided the LEDs aren't sticking up too much from the surface. Nail varnish works, put a dollop in the center of the LED to tame the laser beam.

paul_5 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Increase the value of the resistor on the LED supply. A resistor in series (which this will be) is used to limit the current, so a bigger value of resistor will dim the offending article. Or you could add another resistor, so that the two add up to a larger impedance. actually, if you were going to get inside it to mess about with the components then the most sensible suggestion would be to rip the 'Flash Burn' LED out and replace it with a sensible one...

ColinB Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I've found that a 10k resistor brings the bright blue down to a really good level. Try a variety of different values using a 9V battery - 'tis quick'n'easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 A reversible way would be to get a little masking tape, put a small piece over the led & cut around the tape with a Stanley or craft knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That has worked well for me. I found some really nice low intensity diffused lens blue LEDs on eBay -- took a while to find them, but they do exist. I then run them well under the max current spec, and at that point they're no longer obnoxious at all, at least by my standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
